No. For ADR to be successful, the parties must genuinely wish to achieve a settlement. There are cases in which this will not be the desire of one or more of the parties. Examples are: cases where the parties wish to establish a precedent; where a point of law exists upon which the parties wish to have a formal judicial ruling; where a court order is required to enforce a judgment; where evidentiary processes are required to protect the rights of a party; or where extraordinary court relief is sought, such as a declaratory judgment.
